NATO leaders praise Montenegro’s contribution to security ‘in region and beyond‘

“We welcome the considerable progress that Montenegro has made on its road to Euro-Atlantic integration and its contribution to security in the region and beyond, including through its participation in ISAF,” NATO leaders said in a communiqué issued at the close of the Lisbon Summit.

The Summit also welcomed Montenegro’s active role in NATO’s Membership Action Plan (MAP) process and its commitment to join the Alliance.

“We look forward to the successful implementation of its first Annual National Programme and will continue, through the MAP, to support Montenegro’s continuing efforts to reform,” said the Lisbon Summit Declaration.
